Con artists will go to any length for what to them is free money. KGGF’s Debra Woodall reports technology makes it easier. The Coffeyville Police Department has recently received complaints of thefts by deception made through different Coffeyville  businesses. Police indicate an email is sent to the employer from a false employee email account requesting changes to their direct deposit settings, defrauding the employee of their wages.

Investigators say there is a a way the boss can protect employees’ money.   CPD recommends businesses make sure any direct deposit changes be verified in person first, especially if the change request is made electronically.
